And on the far side of the town, opposite to where you are, you see another hill, taller than the one you're on, if you need to know the geography. Yes. Taller. And atop that, you see the unmistakable, dark blue menacing

He says he's gonna push down this tree all right yeah I'm gonna push it down all right yeah make a roll all right check DC 15 to push down a tree are you bad you don't know how big or small this tree is true well this is that's a two minus one. That's a one. You run into the tree, it collapses on you. You take six points of damage.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Okay. But I sort of- Dinner munch about is now trapped under a tree. But, but- Night time approaches, the flaming peasants are all dead. Hang on. And I go, say that's what I meant to do, and I kiss it.

I'm gonna try and help, because I'm lying. Don't help, you've done enough. Hey guys, while we're doing this, do dragons usually turn into crystal to rest at night on a hillside? Sorry, the dragon was turning the hill into crystal.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Oh, so the dragon's on to crystal? The dragon was crystallizing the hill. Oh,, so the dragons on to crystal the dragon was crystallizing me Oh like making like a cocoon of it. No The dragon was turning the hill As it was burrowing into it the rather than a snow-capped hill or a grassy knoll it was now crystalline It was like digging up crystals It was like a dragon. It was like a minor crystalline it was like digging up crystals it was like a dragon it was like a minor like a 17 in the distance the dragon takes flight this is gonna be
Starting point is 00:06:31 a constant threat to you throughout this campaign wait but it's the dragon takes flight and it's flying towards you what do you do I hide under the tree everybody under this tree I get under the tree too hey Hing what did it do to the hill? It was turning it crystalline. It was turning it into crystal. So the hill's like, hey. Was it worth it? Is that worth it?
Starting point is 00:06:54 And the hill introduces you to her friends. And you're like, god you're all so shrill. Why are you all this gay bar? You're not gay. Crystal. Does anyone have any questions about the town before we proceed? I wanna know what its primary trade item was. Probably crystals now. Yeah, now it'll be, well now it'll mostly be charcoal. But previously it was a thriving town that made...
Starting point is 00:07:26 Rum. What's the name of the town? Green Nest. So there's sugar cane through the hills there? No, they make it out of... Coconuts. It's a coconut rum, they make Malibu! They make Malibu. Excellent.
Starting point is 00:07:46 I worked 60's at a fucking bottle shop, test me alright? I know every liqueur. So we're in a sort of tropical environment, there's a lot of coconut palms. No, there was an extensive hydroponic setup and several, um, it was called Green Nest, because of the greenhouses that were there, that also housed birds.
Starting point is 00:08:02 The birds lived in the coconuts. Look, eat it, I can't, if you pick a part of this I will collapse and have a stroke. I didn't pick it apart. You said, do I have a question? I had a question. Do we have a contact for, given to us by Tarboar to meet here and then give instructions? No, you don't have a contact but I would imagine maybe someone else in the party would be smart enough to know that the leader would probably be in the key. What's hard about this is that I chose to play a character that's really dumb. Unfortunately, I personally... Very smart.
Starting point is 00:08:35 So there's this ongoing tension thing of really wanting my character to be able to... And I literally have the exact opposite problem. my character to be able to... And I literally have the exact opposite problem. Okay well dinner munch about's like hey guys I reckon if we're thinking logically about it in what I'm gonna call the Simon Grider way of thinking which I've coined I think we need to head towards that keep. Crystals. No, not crystals. No, that was coming from like the dragon's asshole.
Starting point is 00:09:09 And on it. Maybe if we charge the crystals in the moonlight, they'll give us some sort of information. Are you walking into the town while you have this conversation? Sure. Are there orphans or not orphans? Is there orphans?
Starting point is 00:09:20 Sugar bear! Please! If we can't have money, can we have orphans? There's on fire people running around, right? Yeah, yeah, many people are fleeing. Right, I grab one and I put him out. I put him out with my... I throw him on the ground and I roll him with my foot.
Starting point is 00:09:37 And I say, are you okay? Help us, please help us! Whispers the woman. And you see behind her seven kobolds stream out of an alley and they are holding hostage with knives and spears to the throat four other human beings an adult man and three children. That looks like a family children. That looks like a family. Please help us! whispers the woman. What do you do? Hey, Kobolds. You get the attention of the Kobold? Yes, let go of that family.
